The season premiere will not be the only show that shines a light on the cast's fallen star. A tribute to Monteith is planned for episode three, airing Oct. 10, titled "The Quarterback" after his character's high school football role.

Yesterday, show writer Ryan Murphy tweeted a promotional photo for the episode with the caption, "The hardest word to say is 'goodbye.'"

This past Sunday, the Emmys paid tribute to Monteith by having show co-star Jane Lynch say a few words about her friend.

"Tonight we remember Cory for all he was, and mourn the loss of all he could have been," she said.
